to be trickster

it needs to mean something

 not pointless

diversions

  usual option

words easy to understand

 thoughts waiting

All adding

Why do I do this?

Still a tortoise,

 but fee my time as a coyote.

Mix of chaos and understanding.

Good to be the Coyote. The trickster had a realistic wisdom. Better to laugh than cry, better to dance than sit. Nice poetry Jon. Native American myth. Coyote was the wisest and most dangerous. Thank you Jon for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Native American mythology is interesting. I used to be the Coyote, but turned into the Tortoise.

I liked the myth and tale myself. Native American have many to be told.

I think we have all asked ourselves this at some point Jon, why do we put ourselves through this. There is certainly a compulsion in writing, finding the way we look to express ourselves. I ask myself this often and even when I take a break from it, I find my mind forming lines onstead of thoughts, leading to the pen once more being taken in hand to see what we have missed. I would love to see scientists prove writing is an addiction :)

I had just finished a conversation with my niece. Dealing with a different shade of me. Arguing with yourself. Wonder why I get cranky? Both have certain medical issues. Minute took for tremors. Away we go!
